Open Thread: How are you using Excel?
Merlin Mann | Aug 22 2006
Yesterday, I mentioned I'd been talking with someone who's looking at interesting things people are doing with Microsoft Excel. I talked to her again yesterday, and with her official okey-dokey, I'll virtually introduce Tralee Pearce (*waves*), a reporter from Toronto's Globe & Mail whom you might remember from a very swell article about the Hipster PDA. So, by request -- and to help Tralee with fleshing out her fun-sounding article -- I hope you all will jump in here: What kind of cool, novel, and non-obvious stuff are you doing with Excel? What's the wildest, most obsessive, most nerdy thing you ever saw someone do with our favorite spreadsheet program? 119 Comments

![]() My calendar is on excel....Submitted by Helen (not verified) on August 22, 2006 - 5:13am.
My calendar is on excel. I have countdowns for all my projects on the sidelines - each project has its own color format. And I have categories like expenditures, sports activities, household chores or reading list. In a separate sheet I list all my accounts/debit cards and enter bills, so that i can always tell how much I have till next salary. Just a few formulas, plus lots of colors and different fonts:) » POSTED IN:
